i This-invention relates to anovelliquiddispensing pumpsuch as maybeusedon soda fountains'or in any place where it is'desired to' reinovefrom a reservoir quantities of the liquidcontained therein. I i

The principal-object of the invention is the'provision of a pump Of-fthetype described which will-beattractive in appear- Yance, which maybe'readily and quickly adv l0 juste'd to change the'leverageon thehandle 'and whic'h maybe used todispense varying quantities of a'liquid,V i I I {'These and other objects of the invent on will appear as thedescription proceeds.

- To this endthe invention consists in the provisionofa container ofglass or other stutablematerial mountedupon' a base and I within whichis located a pump barrel which receives liquid from the'container.Reciprocably mounted within the pump barrel is a piston or plungerhaving valves therein to permit one way passage of the fluid. "Securedin the top of the container is an interfmediate well portion whichreceives the fluid v from the pump barrel, which well is closed by a capthrough which the pump plunger projects. A spout is secured to the wallof v the intermediate wellwhich spout conducts, the fluid to any desiredlocation. Upon the spout I provide a pivot block engaging the spout in aslidable manner, but so that it may be more or less rigidly located inany I position on the spout. This block carries the Y 1 pivoted, end ofa handle which handle engages the topofthe piston rod-in a universaljoint so that up and down movement of the handle will permit the pistonrod to move in avertical direction only and'without binding. In otherwords, the handleengagesthe piston'rod'in a slippedor sliding connectionwhile thepivoted end of the handle engages the spout in a rigid manner,although .ca-

pable of being moved to variouspositions. Theinvention furthercons1sts1n the novel arrangement, construction and combination of partshereinafter describedand shown in r the accompanying drawings, in whichsame shown in section,

Figure 1 is a side elevationalview of the apparatus embodying myimprovements.

Figure 2 is a vertical central view of the Figure 3 is a detail showingthepivotal i connection betweenthe handle and the pistonrodshown,insection.v I Referring now to the embodiment lllustrated, Ihaveshown a container at l-of glass in the well known manner; I

The. well 3 is closed by a cap 9. apertured to permitthe 'upperendf10 ofthe piston rod 6 to extend therethrough. A spout 11 itself. j I

This is of advantage particularlywhen av or other suitable materialv andof any desired shape which inrthis case may. advantageousl'y be that ofaisphere. base2 supports the container.

Screwedinto the top of the container l isa well 3 from the bottomof'which dependsa pumpbarrel 4 having-apertures5atthe b'ot, I1 tonthereof allowing communication between the interior ofthe barrel fandtheinterior of thereservoir 1. i r

Apiston rod 6 is provided for; reciprocawhich is: attached a plunger- 7having the usual one wayvalves 8 thereinl Downward movement of thepiston allows the liquid within the container to flow above-the piston,

communicating with the well 3 allowsliquid lifted into the well to flowout through. this opening. c. Frictionally engaging the 'spout 11 is abear1ngblock-12 gripping the spout so that the block will remain in anydesired position,

tion within the ump barretto the endof but. when this latter portion is,movedup: Wardly-the valves '8 close and theliquid above the'plunger f7,ifs-lifted -int0 the -well3 but which may be manually. slid up ordown asdesired. The block 12carries the pivoted 16 in the end ofa' yoke17imounted upon the top 10 of. the piston-rod.

It will benoted that'as the handle lf t is moved up and. down,"corresponding vertical movement will be impartedto the piston with aresult thatiliquid will be lifted from 5- j within; the containerintovthewell 3 and from there out of the spout 11. In-this end'13 of ahandle 14. This-handle passes f through a pivoted block l5'ca'rrieduponpins j movement-of the piston, the piston rod 6 has only averticalreciprocation and due to the 'fact that a sliding connection is providedbetween the topof the rod 10 and the handle 14 the parts will'not bindat any position of the through the block 15. Inasmuch asthe end of thehandle is pivoted in the movable bearing 12, I am able to secure variousadjustments of the handle. both to increase or decrease the leverage,and v also to change the vertical movement of the regard" to movementof'the handlepiston in no Y I i change in liquid has been made from thinto thick where it would be desirable to increase the amount of leveragesecured by use of this handle. It will be obvious that the nearer thebearing 12 is to the well 3 the greater the leverage on the handle.

The fact that the well 3 is provided as an enlargement at the top of thepump barrel 4 I am able to use this as a filling funnel whenreplenishing the container.

It will be obvious that the container may be decorated or made in anydesired shape to particularly adapt it to the use to which it is to beput.

What I claim is:

1. In combination, a liquid container, a

pump therein for removing the contents, a

spout for receiving the contentsfrom the pump and a pivoted handle foroperating the pump, the handle being slidably tul- 'crumed to thespout."

2. In combination, a tank adapted to receive a liquid, a pump barrelextending within the tank andhaving an aperture in the bottom thereof, aplunger within the barrel vfor lifting the contents from the container,a

spout receiving the contents from the pump barrel, a handle attached tothe plunger and slidably engaging the spout for reciprocating spoutreceiving the contents from the pump barreha handle attached to theplunger and shdably engaging the spout for reciprocatmg the plunger, anda 'well between the pump barrel and the spout receiving the contentsfrom the barrel and delivering the same to. the spout.

4. A liquid dispensing container compris ing a tank, means for liftingthe liquid within the container to a point without the conpumped anddelivering the same to any desired place, a pivoted handle for operatingthe liquid lrttmg means, said handle being pivoted to a bearingbloclgsaid block being movably mounted upon the spout.

In testimony whereof, I afiixmy signature.
